Composite Fillings in Kahului, HI
At some point, most people will develop a tooth cavity that needs repair. At Island Smiles Dental Care, we offer the latest advancements in modern dentistry. We recommend composite resin, or tooth colored fillings, when the need arises. We are an amalgam free practice and do not offer the old mercury type, silver fillings. While composite fillings do cost more than amalgam, we believe it is worth it to preserve your dental health and sparkling smile.
Some reasons for getting composite fillings include:
- Chipped teeth
- Closing space between two teeth
- Cracked or broken teeth
- Decayed teeth
- Worn teeth

Porcelain Fixed Bridges in Kahului, HI
Is having a big, unattractive gap in your mouth from missing teeth keeping you from greeting people with a nice smile? A full set of functional teeth is crucial to your dental and oral health, speech and appearance. If you’re missing one or more teeth, chewing becomes more difficult, and you’re more susceptible to gum disease, speech disorders and a misshapen face.
A bridge replaces missing teeth with natural-looking, artificial teeth. The types of bridges are:
- Fixed bridges. These attach artificial teeth to the adjoining healthy teeth with crowns
- Implant bridge. This attaches artificial teeth to dental implants secured directly to the jaw
Island Smiles Dental Care can help you determine the best option for your mouth to improve your dental health and restore your happy smile.

Teeth Whitening in Kahului, HI
One surefire way to perk up your smile is to whiten your teeth. Depending on the amount of dental work you’ve had, your mouth’s sensitivity and the color of your teeth, your dentist can suggest appropriate whitening methods:
- Professional bleaching: Usually done in one visit, the dentist applies a bleaching agent to the teeth while shielding the gums to reduce possible irritation. Sometimes special lights are used to enhance the process. Natural teeth can be immediately whitened
- Whitening toothpaste: Including mild abrasives and other agents, these can remove minor surface stains
- Home bleaching: A custom tray will be made for you to apply a peroxide-based whitener, which is applied to teeth over several days
Island Smiles Dental Care will advise you about the whitening methods best suited to your mouth. A brighter, more cheerful smile may be just one office visit away!

Porcelain Crowns in Kahului, HI
Looking for the most dazzling crown possible? Today’s technology creates crowns made of porcelain that are natural looking in shape and color, leave no black edge at the gum line and can last many years.

Ceramic crowns are custom made for each patient with zirconia, the same substance used to make synthetic diamonds, and porcelain. The end result is a startlingly white and beautiful smile that is both durable and capable of brightening up someone’s day!
